Extended Data Fig. 4: Principal coordinates analysis of plastisphere microbial communities for different plastic items and time periods.
From: The role of biofouling and microbial colonization in shaping macroplastic fate in freshwaters
Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of plastisphere microbial communities on plastic substrates based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarities calculated from amplicon sequence variant (ASV) relative abundances. Symbols represent samples, and distances between symbols represent similarities between samples. Ellipses indicate the 95% confidence intervals for each time period.
